Authorities released the name today of a documented gang member fatally shot outside a North County home.

Patrol officers responding to a report of gunfire found 20-year-old Stephen Board mortally wounded in a yard of the 510 N. Redondo Dr. home in Oceanside shortly before 4 p.m. Monday.

Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
